OSFE is considered to be minimal invasive and minimal traumatic while having a limitation with regard to the residual bone height. According to the consensus conference in 1996, OSFE technique without bone grafting should be limited to RBH ranging from 7mm to 9mm. However, recent studies reported favorable results even with RBH of around 4mm. Moreover, there is still controversy regarding the necessity of a grafting material in order to maintain the space for new bone formation. Spontaneous bone formation was observed for OSFE without grafting by some researches.\n\nDue to the lack of randomized controlled trial (RCTs), there is still no clear guideline for implant therapy in posterior maxillae with limited bone height. Neither is there any evidence to recommend or contraindicate the application of grafting materials in combination with OSFE.\n\nThe present RCT is aimed to evaluate the clinical success of OSFE with RBH of 2mm to 8 mm and to study whether the application of grafting material in combination with OSFE will be more favorable. The hypothesis is that the application of simultaneous grafting has no significant advantage in terms of clinical success. Spontaneous bone formation can be observed with implants placed using OSFE without grafting.\n\n45 systemically healthy adults consecutively admitted for oral implant therapy will be randomly assigned to 2 test groups. Only one implant system will be used to minimize the implant-originated influencing factors. Bio-Oss® will be chosen as the bone substitute as it is currently the typical xenograft available. Autogenous bone will be also used as it is deemed as 'gold standard' for bone graft materials.\n\nA panoramic radiograph and cone-beam CT should be taken to assess the pretreatment bone height under sinus. For T1 group, the autogenous bone chips harvested during the drilling procedure will be mixed up with Bio-Oss®. And the mixture is placed into the 'socket' by osteotomes when elevating the sinus membrane until the final depth. For T2 group, no grafting materials will be used. The subjects will be recalled for follow-up visits at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years,5years and 10 years after surgery for clinical and radiographic examination. Implant protrusion length, endo-sinus bone gain and crestal bone level will be measured on the radiographs using specialized software. ANOVA will be performed for the success rates of the 2 groups. Descriptive statistics will be used for the radiographic parameters.\n\nThe present study is aimed to provide preliminary evidence for an important clinical question that whether OSFE is predictable and reliable with RBH of less than 6mm and whether the application of grafting materials is necessary for this indication.", 'detailedDescription': "1. Specific aims\n\n 1. To evaluate the clinical success of implants placed in posterior maxillae with limited residual bone height (2mm to 8 mm) using OSFE with or without simultaneous grafting\n 2. To study the influence of simultaneous grafting on the clinical success of dental implants in posterior maxillae using OSFE\n 3. To observe the bone changes in the elevated space under sinus with or without grafting.\n\n The null hypothesis is that the application of simultaneous grafting has no significant advantage in terms of clinical success. Spontaneous bone formation can be observed with implants placed using OSFE without grafting.\n2. Background and significance\n\nPosterior maxillae commonly pose a challenge for successful dental implants due to the poor bone quality and insufficient bone quantity. Efforts have been made to allow successful implant placement in the posterior maxilla subject to limited bone height under the sinus. Approaches available now include the application of tilting implants, short implants, sinus floor elevation technique, etc. The osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique, first introduced by Tatum in 1986, has been proved to be a predictable procedure. For OSFE, access to the sinus membrane is achieved through a crestal approach. Therefore, compared with window technique, OSFE is considered to be less invasive and less traumatic while having a limitation with regard to the residual bone height. According to the consensus conference in 1996, OSFE technique should be limited to RBH ranging from 7mm to 9mm. However, with the improvement of implant design and surgical technique, the high predictability of implant therapy has encouraged re-evaluation of this limitation. Favorable results have been reported with more compromised sites even with RBH of around 4mm. Moreover, there is controversy regarding the necessity of a grafting material in order to maintain the space for new bone formation. In a previous pilot study, 42 implants was placed in posterior maxillae with OSFE without bone grafting materials. The RBH ranged from 4mm to 8mm (average 6.36mm). The 5-month result also demonstrated predictable results.\n\nBut to date, there is still insufficient data regarding the clinical results of the implants in posterior maxilla with OSFE technique without grafting and it still remains to be elucidated the necessity of grafting with OSFE. And the lack of well-designed RCTs makes the level of evidence relatively low. In this context, therefore, the applicants attempt to assess the clinical success of dental implants placed in posterior maxillae using OSFE with or without grafting and to observe the endo-sinus bone changes specially for RBH of only 2mm to 8 mm.\n\nC. Methods\n\nRandomization Subjects will be allocated to the two groups using the random numbers table. Allocation will be equalized every 20 cases. One research assistant will perform the randomization.\n\nStudy visits and procedures Pretreatment Assessment (Baseline) History-taking and consent taking: A detailed examination should be taken to make sure that the subject should fulfill the inclusion criteria. The subject will read through and sign the consent form.\n\nExamination: A detailed dental examination should be performed to assess the intended implant site, which should include the dimension of the edentulous site, the status of mucosa and the status of adjacent teeth.\n\nBaseline: A panoramic radiograph and an cone-beam CT should be taken to assess the pretreatment bone height under sinus.\n\nSurgical procedure (Surgical Day):\n\nLocal infiltration anesthesia is used for all the subjects. A midcrestal incision, with mesial and distal releasing incisions extending well up into the buccal fold is performed and a full-thickness muco-periosteal flap is reflected. A round bur (Φ2.3 mm) is first used to mark the implant positions. Then, a minimal pilot drilling (Φ2.2mm) is performed to the depth approximately1 mm away from the sinus floor boundary according to the depth taken from the panoramic radiograph or CT scan. The cortical part of the implant bed is further widened to either Φ3.5mm forΦ4.1mm implants or Φ 4.2mm for Φ4.8mm implants. At this stage, the integrity of the sinus membrane is examined using the Valsava manoeuvre. Then the elevation of the maxillary sinus is achieved using Φ2.8mm osteotome by light malleting to achieve the initial sinus upfracture and is developed with osteotomes of increasing diameters gradually till the final depth.\n\nFor group1 , the autogenous bone chips harvested during the drilling procedure was mixed up with Bio- Oss®. And the mixture is placed into the 'socket' by osteotomes when elevating the sinus membrane until the final depth.\n\nNo grafting materials will be used for group2. No profile drill is used for any of the cases. The implants are placed in the prepared osteotomy site using a hand ratchet without tapping. All implants are placed in sites using a nonsubmerged technique and in a one stage procedure.\n\nPostoperative treatment Amoxicillin (Xinya Co., Shanghai, China, 500mg, 4 times a day for 7 days) and metronidazole (Xinyiwanxiang, Shanghai, China, 400mg, 3 times a day for 7 days) will be used. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are prescribed for post-surgical analgesia. 0.12% chlorhexidine oral rinse was prescribed for 60 seconds 5-6 times a day for 14 days. Sutures were removed after 1 week.\n\nPatients were not allowed to use any removable prostheses during healing period. Patients should avoid blowing the nose during the healing period.\n\nProsthetic Procedure (Prosthetic Day) The implants are allowed to heal for 6 months. Porcelain-fused-to-gold prostheses are attached to the implants 7 to 10 days after impression taking.\n\nFollow-ups The subjects will be recalled for follow-up visits at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5years and 10 years after surgery for clinical and radiographic examination.\n\nParameters examined\n\nRadiographic parameters:\n\n1. Baseline: Pretreatment bone height under sinus at the implant site (mesial and distal)\n2. Surgical Day: Implant protrusion length (mesial and distal)\n3. Prosthetic Day and Follow-ups: Endo-sinus bone gain (mesial and distal)\n4. Prosthetic Day and Follow-ups: Crestal bone level (mesial and distal)\n\nClinical parameters:\n\n1. Surgical day: Schneiderian membrane integrity\n2. Follow-ups: Post-operative complications (e.g. nose bleeding, infection)\n3. Follow-ups: Implant mobility\n4. Follow-ups: Probing depth Data collection Radiographic data: A panoramic and intra-oral radiograph will be taken at follow-up visits. For intra-oral radiograph, parallel technique will be applied. One experienced staff at the department of radiology will be responsible for taking these radiographs. The parameters will be measured using the specialized software.\n\nClinical data: Dr. Huan-Huan Jiang and Dr. Shi-Chong Qiao, who are blind to which group the subjects belong to, will be responsible for clinical data collection.\n\nStatistical analysis ANOVA will be performed for the success rates of the 3 groups. The criterion for significance was set at α=0.05 and β=0.20. The ANOVA is non-directional.
